Abstract

The Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition of Belgium founded in 1937, is among the world’s most prestigious and demanding music competitions. It alternates between cello, piano, violin, and voice and consists of three rounds in which each candidate gives a recital. Each round selects a subset of candidates. This paper presents and analyses the rule for the selection of candidates and its specificities. It shows that the rule does not satisfy many of the classical properties of the literature on the social choice.
